1974 to 1979

Camped out here in HEAVEN  is heaven. I want to stay forever. 

NOTICE: from the future - enjoy what good you have. You'll never know when it might be toren  right out of your hands.

1969 to 1974  If  first you dont succeed - try  try  try again. Pick a new tune.  A new dance.  A few steps to the left and we begin again.   Peace  looked for Peace found.  

Saint Thomas Virgin Islands? This must be the frount step to HEAVEN it'self. 

One and one make two, or is it more like  six  and seven?  Let's see - you add his first  four to your first one then two more. Confusing - hun.  Lets just say  YOURS- MINE and OURS and we end up with six boys and one girl. 

Now this is the life.  If I could only stay here forever.

Out of death comes life. All in good time ...the flower will open and show off it's real beauty.

  Sometimes we just need a change.  A change of place...thought....people around us....It's facinating as to how side steping a few miles to the right can change  a persons whole view point.

It was like years and years of good stuff was wound tighter and tighter into a very confining space.  Then someone took off the lid.  Peace begain to truly blossom. 

From the indvisual tubes of paint in Art school, to the fragrance of disenfectent and scrubing your hands clean at work in a hospital, to a rhymithic sound of the typwriters in back of the steno pool.  Soon one ( life ) one person became two....became three.

Beware...when things change too fast - too fast - too fast, you just might discover that you've jumped from one trap into another. And bang - down comes that lid on yet another dark and confining space.

Darkness - darkness all around me.  Three days later - the beginning of yet another a blossom. Out of death yet comes yet a new beginning.

1959 to 1964

Servival is the key word here. A few years back it was just a few that seemed out of order.

Now the number is growing and they are all pointing their fingers toward Peace, as the one not complying.

" What's wrong with Peace?" 

"Peace? "

"Yes Peace"

It's growing and growing, this every thing's out of order feeling. It seems to be taking over the world. 

Bang..bang...he's DEAD. No..no no it can't be true. Don't tell silly jokes like that. 

John F. Kennedy is DEAD? No...no...no...it can't be true.

Frustrating? Did I say frustrating?  The first sharp pangs of FAILURE  soon smacks what's left of peace square in the face.

"Ha..ha...ha...you're not one of us."

"Ha...ha....ha....we'll just leave you behind - because you're not really trying - any way."

  "Oh me o my for the life of me I don't know why you're not trying harder."

"i've had a zillion talks with your dad- why o why arn't you listening?"

" Get you're head out of the clouds."

1949  to  1954 

Left to it's self Peace begins to grow and finds its place in this world.  Yet when dictated  by well intentioned power figures, what seems right and natural  gets deligated to the tinesty corner of the mind. To constently being told to

do this...  

don't act stupid 

do - that... 

why are you so dumb 

no no no don't do that

you do every thing backwards. Left to  emotionally fend for it's self  Peace sees the flow of life as being turned inside out and upside down and very frustrating.

.........there was a little girl. Humph......Too boring. 

Peace - sneeks in when and where you may least expect it.  

Did you ever  stop to think that there is a master plan? And within this plan there is a part for all of us?  It may take an eternity to find or it might be revealed  with in a few short days.......to be continued

HELLO

                        HELLO

                           HELLO

Hello......any one home?

What happened? 

Where did everyone go? Did a boat load of

DUH!

suddenly drop on us?  Or is it  just the mid winter
